The Basque Country is above the EU-28 average in most of the indicators of the dimension of Internet use by women. Worth noting are the values of online courses and online consultations or voting, where the Basque Country ranks first and second respectively, well above the EU-28 value. In the rest of the indicators, the positions are rather intermediate, despite having values higher than the average for all European countries, such as the frequent use of the Internet or e-government. In two indicators, however, the data do not reach the EU-28 average, specifically in the use of electronic banking and professional social networks.

  1. This indicator is inverse, that is, the lower, the better.
